ALTERNATE ENDING
       ACT III "A Dolls House"





    ( Nora is now starting to get over helmer but no so much on the children she has met another guy. He is incredibly wealthy and treats Nora fairly. They live in a huge mansion with a pool outside and a tennis court in the back aswell. Nora buys expensive cloths every week and sends cloths for children aswell.)


Nora: oh god! I am so bored i think I am going to invite my old friend Mrs .linde and krogstad over.


(She calls Mrs. Linde and krogstad on the phone and invites them over for dinner. They immediately come to see how Nora is doing. They expect her to be living in a small apartment.)


Mrs.linde and krogstad arrive at Nora's house and their eyes almost pop out they knock on the massive door and Nora opens it.

Mrs. Linde: Nora my dear your live in here?!?

Nora: why yes of course isint lovely?

Krogstad: why Nora how did u ever find money for this house?

Nora: I met a wonderful "wealthy" guy

Mrs Linde: Nora with all this money I think you can have custody of the children. You have better living conditions here and have enough money to support the children.
 
Nora: why I do get bored at times and I do miss my beloved children. I am going to call helmer today

( Nora calls Helmer and have a long conversation about whats best for the children. Helmer explains to Nora what she has Done is  forgiven but never forgotten, the children can't grow with a mother like that. Helmer is Doing great at his new job and has enough money to support the children as well. He thanks Nora on her concern with the children and wishes her a happy life)

       ACT II ANALYSIS




    After reading Act II we discovered even more secrets that Nora hid from Helmer. Act  II opens up when mrs. Linde questions Nora on where she got the money to pay for the trip to Italy. She assumes its Dr. Rank since they they are good Friends and he is wealthy. Evantually Mrs. Linde finds out the  truth and  she ends up trying to help Nora by talking to krogstad. We then find out then that Mrs. Linde and krogstad were a couple at one point but Mrs. Linde left him  to support her family and marry another men.


    We Also find out that Dr.Rank loves Nora, he confesses his love for Nora when she tries to flirt with him she thinks it gets a little awkward  and immediately calls the maid to bring the lamp. I think that Nora was just flirting with Dr.Rank to get on his good side and ask for his money so she can pay off her debt with krogstad. But when he confesses his love for her she feels bad for him since he loves her and is close to death. ''and tomorrow your shall see how beautifully I shall dance and you can imagine it all for you and Torvald too, of course''(Ibsen pg197). This just shows how immature and childish


  At the end of Act II Nora feels she has no hope in getting out her mess so she feels that sucide is the only answer to her problems. I disagree she could tell helmer the truth and hope for the best. I think that  helmer is mature enough and will understand why she did what she did.  So at the end Nora saids '' thirty-one hours to live".(Ibsen pg206)  DO YOU THINK NORA WILL COMMIT SUCIDE OR WILL COME CLEAN WITH HELMER STAY TUNNED FOR ACT III.

         ACT I ANALYSIS
       
          Act I is done, and I am ready Act II. We now have an idea of what the rest of the book is going to be about. We are introduced to the main characters helmer and Nora. Helmer and Nora are married. Helmer works at a bank and is being promted as bank manager so he puts bread on the table, and Nora just feeds off his money. Nora acts like a child and their relationship is more like a father daughter relationship. Nora squanders helmers money and thinks that she has the perfect family. '' Is that my little skylark twittering out there?'' Nora is woman who hides many lies from helmer for example her borrowing money from krogstand and by eating macaroons.

       Later on we meet an old friend of Nora, Mrs. Linde who is a widow and has been working very hard for past three yeas to support her family, and she come back to ask for a possible job spot in the bank since she heard that helmer is getting promted. Mrs linde explains to Nora why she needs the Job but Nora randomly has tell interrupt and say how perfect her life is. '' oh,not just what we need! heaps and heaps of money!'' T/W, this shoes that Nora is conceited. We later then meet Dr. Rank who is a closed friend of Nora and Might have some feelings for each other. Dr rank has a physical ailment and is rich. The last character we meet is krogstand, who has a bad repution because he forged a signature. He blackmails Nora by telling helmer that she borrowed money from him and that she forged her dads signature. He is known as a degenerate.
 
     So now we know that both Nora and krogstand have forged a signature and have bad reputation so they have many thimgs In common. It all started by Nora borrowing money from krogstand to pay her trip to Italy becaus helmer was sick. Nora forged her dads signature and didn't think he was going to find out. Nora becomes paranoid when helmer tells her that anyone who hides lies from their family will poison their whole family and their home. '' An atmosphere of lies like that infects and poisons the whole life of a home. In a house like that, every breath that the children take is filled with te germs of evil''. T/W

After helmers long talk with Nora she doesn't  want to even see her children no more because she thought that she would corrupt them and poison their mind. He was afraid that she would poison their mind every time the children came by Nora she would ask the nanny to take them says and then sometimes the nanny would say that children miss her.

   My name is Anthony Obando and  I am a sophomore at Bloomfield High school. I am 16 years old and I'm in mrs santos and mrs Pettigrew 5th period, I enjoy being in our 5th period class becasue its funny and keeps me entertained. I am athletic and funny. I love to play soccer and basketball. I also like to spend time with my family and my friends. The thing I enjoyed most this year was reading "Through The Tunnel"


                Henrik Ibsen

         
              Henrik Ibsen was born on March 20, 1828, in Skien, Norway.  In 1868, Ibsen moved to Germany, where he wrote one of his most famous works: the play A Dolls house  . In 1890, he wrote Hedda Gabler, creating one of theater's most notorious characters. By 1891, Ibsen had returned to Norway a literary hero. He died on May 23, 1906, in Oslo, Norway.
   As a child, Henrik Ibsen showed little sign of the theatrical genius he would become. He grew up in the small Norwegian coastal town of Skien as the oldest of five children born to Knud and Marichen Ibsen. His father was a successful merchant and his mother painted, played the piano and loved to go to the theater. Ibsen himself expressed an interest in becoming an artist as well.

The family was through into poverty when Ibsen was 8 because of problems with his father's business. Nearly all traces of their previous affluence had to be sold off to cover debts, and the family moved to a rundown farm near town. There Ibsen spent much of his time reading, painting and performing magic tricks. At 15, Ibsen stopped school and went to work. He landed a position as an apprentice in an apothecary in Grimstad. Ibsen worked there for six years, using his limited free time to write poetry and paint. In 1849, he wrote his first play Catalina , a drama written in verse modeled after one of his great influences William Shakesphere 

I think "A dolls House" will be about a family who had money but then when bankrupt and had to eventually move. I think this because Ibsen's family was wealthy once and then they went through poverty because problems with his dads job.
